MORE than 300 people have now been interviewed in the hunt for a Southport woman's killer.

The investigation into the death of mother-of-three Pamela Todd is being worked on by a team of 20 detectives based at Southport police station.

Ms Todd's body was found by dog- walkers on Monday, August 11, at the Silver Jubilee nature trail near the Esplanade.

She died from multiple injuries and her body had been hidden under a wooden walkway.

Detective superintendent Mike Semple, heading the investigation, said: "We have interviewed 327 people, taken 400 statements and completed 1,000 inquiries. We have plotted the victim's movements from 9am on August 7 until 10pm the same evening.

"The investigation is still progressing and we would like to speak to anyone who saw her after 10pm when we believe she was on the Promenade."

Pamela was last seen on the Promenade at 10pm on Thursday, August 7.

Police made a nationwide appeal for information as her body was found close to a busy caravan park and the beauty spot is regularly used by walkers.

On August 17 a 29-year-old man was arrested in connection with the murder but was later released.

A 27-year-old Southport man was also arrested at a benefits office in Blackpool on August 20. He was released four days later without charge.
